Standin' in the corner
B7Am7
Of Toulouse and Dauphine
DmE7Am7
Waitin' on Marie-Ondine
Am7
I'm tryin' to place a tune
Fmaj7B7
Under a Louisiana moonbeam
DmE7Am
On the planet of New Orleans
Am7Fmaj7
In a bar they call The Saturn
B7E
And in her eyes of green
DmE7Am7
And somethin' that she said in a dream
Am7Fmaj7
Inside of my suit I got my mojo root
B7
And a true love figurine
DmE7Am
For the planet of New Orleans
Chorus:
Am7E7
New Orleans - With other life upon it
Am
And everythin' that's shakin' in between
Am7
If you should ever land upon it
E7
You better know what's on it
DmE7Am
The planet of New Orleans
Am7Fmaj7
Now I'm tryin' to find my way
B7E
Through the rain and the steam
DmE7Am7
I'm lookin' straight ahead through the screen
Am7Fmaj7
And then I heard her say
B7
Somethin' in the limousine
DmE7Am7
'bout taking a ride across the planet of New Orleans

Am7Fmaj7Am7Fmaj7Em7Fmaj7Em7Am7
If she was an ace
Fmaj7
And I was just a jack
B7E
And the cards were never seen
DmE7Am7
We could have been the king and the queen
Am7Fmaj7
But she took me back to her courtyard
B7
Where magnolia perfume screams
Dm
Behind the gates and the granites
E7Am
Of the planet of New Orleans
Chorus twice
